Wearable Interface by Alex Dodge

Taking the form of a light, cross-seasonal jacket, this concept prototype explores the pos- sibilities of embedding various mobile technologies in a wearable garment. With multiple adaptable standard USB ports, GPS, accelerometers, microphones, temperature and photo sensors, the garment’s on-board processor can be trained and programmed to interact with a range of other devices.

While most current smart phones offer similar modes of input the Generative Wearable Interface is intended as an always-on constant-feed device that can react to each user’s unique actions and environment in real time, detecting useful patterns and conditions over time.
